[wp-hackers] Network Installation for multisites

[Eric Hendrix]

Much of the time, users who think they want a multi-site really aren't sure
what they're getting into. When you explain the difference between
"multiple WordPress sites" and "multi-site," many opt to use multiple sites.

Also, without a few extraordinary plugins, WP's multi-site operation leaves
a bit lacking in my opinion.
